Chapter 5: Resistance Training Adaptations

adaptations which are responses to exercise, and are changes that occur in the body during and shortly after an exercise bout

changes in the body that occur after repeated training bouts and persist long after a training session ends

this is key to inducing increases in muscle size and strength

these two adaptations occur early in resistance training

hypertrophy in muscle is not usually seen until this long after training begins

This dictates a clients ultimate magnitude of muscle size increases

these drive chronic adaptations

Small muscles depend more heavily on this to control force output, while large muscle ten to depend more on this

The increase seen in EMGs during a set of resistance training exercise reflects this

T/F: motor units that innervate ST MU innervate fewer fibers than MU that innervate FT

motor unit recruitement is based on this

These have the largest diameter motor neurons, therefore require the greatest level of stimulation to be activated

T/F: the body only uses ST during slow movements, and FT during fast movements

These metabolites are known potential causes of fatigue

this percent of ATP production during bodybuilding type resistance training comes from glycolysis

T/F: Carbohydrates are not important for resistance training

Growth hormone and insulin are this type of hormone

this hormone increases fat and carbohydrate breakdown by the cell so that more ATP will be available for muscle contration.

This hormone effects the CNS which may facilitate MU activation

T/F: testosterone and GH concentrations are elevated with resistance training in males

T/F: bouts that have higher volume and shorter rest periods have a weaker endocrine response than do bouts with lower volume and longer rest periods

T/F: large muscle mass exercises have a more powerful stimulus than do small muscle mass exercises on the endocrine system

Chronic neural adaptations include

the simultaneous activation of an agonist and an antagonist during a motor task
